Lincoln and the Radical Republicans unequivocally agreed on one topic, the abolition of slavery.

The policies of the Radical Republicans were an issue of heated debate between Lincoln's ideas of reconstruction, and the Republicans' ideas of reconstruction. Lincoln's ideas of reconstruction were dictated by "kindness". Radical Republicans had proposed the idea of the Ironclad Oath. The Oath required that a person had to swear he had never borne arms against the Union or supported the Confederacy --- that is, he had "never voluntarily borne arms against the United States," had "voluntarily" given "no aid, countenance, counsel or encouragement" to persons in rebellion and had exercised or attempted to exercise the functions of no office under the Confederacy. They also supported the Wade-Davis Bill. The bill made remittance to the Union for former Confederate states contingent on a majority in each Southern state to take the Ironclad Oath to the effect they had never in the past supported the Confederacy. The Wade-Davis Bill passed both the Senate and Congress, but was vetoed by Lincoln.

Lincoln wanted the Southern States to reunite with the Union and feared that the Wade Davis bill would prevent unification. At the time the Wade-Davis Bill had passed both houses, there was not a federal bill or proposed amendment to the constitution to end slavery. Therefore, Lincoln knew that any immediate plans for emancipation would have to take place at a state level, in states that the Emancipation Proclamation did not affect. He believed that Wade--Davis would jeopardize state-level emancipation movements in loyal border states.
